From bf3d18e4fee66ef765475065079417c593e6e89a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Robbins Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2018 21:26:22 -0400 Subject: Make note of KFSN4-DRE limitation on USB boot Currently it is impossible to boot from USB devices on the KFSN4-DRE. Apparently neither GRUB nor SeaBIOS recognizes attached USB mass storage (according to Timothy Pearson). --- docs/hardware/kfsn4-dre.md | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/hardware/kfsn4-dre.md') diff --git a/docs/hardware/kfsn4-dre.md b/docs/hardware/kfsn4-dre.md index 944098e0..e3974921 100644 --- a/docs/hardware/kfsn4-dre.md +++ b/docs/hardware/kfsn4-dre.md @@ -63,6 +63,11 @@ Current issues {#issues} disappears if using KMS, once the kernel starts.
